‘06:29 – From Darkness to Light’ is a deeply moving production by the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem which documents the unfathomable depths of evil that occurred on October 7th, alongside the extraordinary support from citizens of Israel and Jews in the diaspora. Visitors to the exhibition will experience the transition from darkness to light through the perspective of acclaimed documentary filmmakers Noam Shalev and Kobi Sitt, and through the lens of renowned photographer Ziv Koren. The exhibition takes visitors on an in-depth journey into the events of October 7th and the profound impact on Israeli society, undergoing unprecedented upheaval.

Heartfelt Personal Testimonies

These testimonies are presented in an innovative video format on large screens throughout the exhibition space, providing visitors with a feeling of an intimate, face-to-face encounter with the witnesses.
Hope
Amidst the complexities, the exhibition reveals moments of hope—the light that emerges from the darkness—highlighting extraordinary acts of kindness and inspiring mutual responsibility and support shown by Israelis from all walks of life. These acts of leadership serve as a powerful reminder of the Jewish people’s ability to unite in times of crisis.
